Thank you to Crystal Lake Publishing for providing a review copy.
I love a good themed anthology, and Crystal Lake consistently provides some of the best. Here we have three vastly different novellas by three of the best indie authors working today. John Durgin's offering is a tense, action packed thriller with aliens on the loose in an office building. Gage Greenwood's story is haunting, with some terrifically creepy moments. Andrew Van Wey gives us one of the most unique alien stories I've ever read - it's truly an accomplishment. 4.75 stars
